He's home!!! He's home and he's in the mood so I need to make this quick.
I've been eagerly reading all the BlogHer wrap-up posts. I have so many thoughts. First and formost are the upsetting number of times I have read a comment like "she said i was pretty good for a mommy blogger". It makes me so frustrated this time old fight. It reminds me of when I was in Womens Studies in University and the lesbians all hated us het. girls or as we liked to be called BUG's (bi until grad). But, it seems that whenever a group of people get together there is going to be politics. I think it is a mistake to assume that this only happens among women. I guarantee you if you go to a chiropractor conference there will be politics and fighting among the crackers and non-crackers.
I think that the more we hear the mommy bloggers out there complaining that they feel marginalized among female bloggers, instead of among bloggers in general, the more people are going to glom (like that word?) on to it and use it as another reason why women are so bitchy and emotional.
And that is how the real issue gets forgotten and the real issue is why are women bloggers less popular than male and why are mommy bloggers un-appreciated, and what the fuck is a blog anyway?
